First Feel Good Story Of 2008

Of course, it comes from a Brit tabloid. No serious American paper would be caught dead calling the troops "Our Boys".

The £65,000 rocket – designed to stop Soviet tanks – locked on to their body heat and tore more than a kilometer across the desert in seconds.

Troop Sergeant Dominic Conway, 32 – who directed mortar rounds – grinned: “It must have had quite a detrimental effect on their morale.”

Love the one comment that jokes that it's not fair to hit them when they (the Taliban) were partying. Now, where has that tactic worked before? Oh yeah, Trnton, NJ way back when. Seems the Brits do learn from their mistakes.

Look on that same front page at the article on teen pregnancy and the accompanying message board. Seems the Brits have the same problem with that as we do. And their gov. gives benefits to 16 year old girls that get pregnant so they go for it. A good male birth control pill would reduce teen pregnancies world wide.

Or a voluntary drive by the media and the entertainment industry to de-sexualize the crud they foist upon a public so willing to consume it.

Or some other grass-roots drive by the people to stop tuning into that garbage and supporting their sponsors.

The trend toward teen pregnancy and general sexual immorality (whether it be pornography, homosexuality, marital infidelity, and premarital sex) begins and can be reined in largely with a public that begin to no longer support it in our media and entertainment.

Or at least from the German's mistakes
